Anna Ruth McNeal Aagard (Ruth), 83, of Burlington, Wyoming died May 8, 2015 surrounded by her family and loved ones. She was born in Basin, Wyoming September 8, 1931, one of eleven children.
Survived by her husband of nearly 70 years, Shirley Aagard; her sisters, Sally Sublett (Joe), Viki Dieckman, and Mary Jane McNeal; her brother, David McNeal; and her children: Angela Roth (Harold) Olaf Aagard (Susie), Sherilee Runyan (Harvey), Mary Ann Hickman, Janet Axtell (Paul), Nancy Everson, Pauline Parker (Wayne), Peter Aagard (Tami), Virginia Wilson (Jon).
She was preceded in death by her parents, Amos McNeal & Grace McNeal; daughter Linda Link; Brothers: Bob Colley, Dick Colley, Pat McNeal, James McNeal, Denny McNeal; Sister: Frances Martin; Grandsons: David Hickman, Travis Aagard, Ty Aagard; Granddaughter: Shantel Everson along with a number of relatives and close friends.
Ruth was a dedicated school bus driver for 25 years in Burlington. She enjoyed many things during her long life. She especially enjoyed crocheting! Many people have a piece of her beautiful craftsmanship--it is completely impossible to know how many blankets, tablecloths, doilies and doo-dads she crocheted in her lifetime. Many know her as "Christmas in July Grandma". The treasures that everyone went away with were always priceless. Some of her favorite things: milkshakes, gardening, canning, and movies. She was a dominos master, a frequent bingo winner, and avid junk collector. She had a wonderful smile that could light up a room. She was a proud grandmother of 46; great grandmother to 72 and great-great grandmother to 3. She had the most generous, loving heart and touched many lives with her presence.
